Notifications on Apple Watch AND iphone

Since Apple broke the notifications appearing simultaneously on the Apple Watch and the iPhone, do they have an ETA for the fix? One of the reasons I bought the Watch was for this reason. At least let us decide if we want it off or on.

Um, they never came to both, at least not on any watch I've ever had. If the phone is locked, the notifications come to the watch. If the watch is locked, the notifications go to the phone. If both are locked, they go to the phone.


If you turn off Wrist detection in the Watch app on your phone, the notifications will always go to your phone.
